[PATCH 08/17] Kbuild, lto: Drop .number postfixes in modpost

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



LTO turns all global symbols effectively into statics. This
has the side effect that they all have a .NUMBER postfix to make
them unique. In modpost drop this postfix because it confuses
it.
